The Architecture of Joseph Michael Gandy (1771-1843) and Sir John Soane (1753-1837): An Exploration Into the Masonic and Occult Imagination of the Late Enlightenment Abstract In examining select works of English architects Joseph Michael Gandy and Sir John Soane, this dissertation is intended to bring to light several important parallels between architectural theory and freemasonry during the late Enlightenment. Both architects developed architectural theories regarding the universal origins of architecture in an attempt to establish order as well as transcend the emerging historicism of the early nineteenth century. There are strong parallels between Soane's use of architectural narrative and his discussion of architectural 'model' in relation to Gandy's understanding of 'trans-historical' architecture. The primary textual sources discussed in this thesis include Soane's Lectures on Architecture, delivered at the Royal Academy from 1809 to 1836, and Gandy's unpublished treatise entitled the Art, Philosophy, and Science of Architecture, circa 1826.

OBITUAEY NOTICES. , II. |r|*& JOHN HILL BURTON. By James Gordon, Asst. Librarian. 1 ;j . ; JOHN HILL BURTON, one of the most eminent men of letters that Scotland has produced, was born on the 22nd of August 1809, at ]j / Aberdeen. While he was still young, his father, an officer in the j;,,|;:l 94th regiment, died; but his mother, who was the daughter of an Aberdeenshire laird, though left, on her husband's decease, with very slender means, successfully exerted herself to give her children an education befitting their social position. He had the advantage of being taught by Melvin, the famous scholar and schoolmaster; and on leaving school, continued his studies at Marischal College. He ever afterwards gratefully acknowledged his obligations to his Alma Mater. In the course of his education at Aberdeen, he laid the foundations of that extensive aquaintance with English litera- ture for which he was afterwards so notable, and also acquired a familiar knowledge of the Latin language. Sir Theodore Martin mentions that Burton used always to carry about with him in his pocket a small edition of Horace. Among his associates at school _, and college were several young men afterwards destined to distin- guish themselves by their contributions to the history of their ^ country, and whose predilections for this department of literature doubtless influenced his future literary career.

  • Drafton 2 October 1873- Do the Sixth Not General Conferencequote of the Evangelicalor Distribute Alliance Convened in New York City
    John Wolffe Ecumenical Prehistory: Philip Schaff and the Evangelical Alliance John Wolffe, The Open University [email protected] [Note to participants: I am sorry that due to a disrupted schedule consequent on a family bereavement last month, this paper comes later and in more abbreviated form than I would have wished.] DraftOn 2 October 1873- do the sixth not general conferencequote of the Evangelicalor distribute Alliance convened in New York City. It was an international event on an impressive scale with over 500 participants. Alongside nearly 300 Americans there were 75 delegates from Great Britain, 28 from continental Europe, 56 from British North America, and 4 from as far away as India.1 Numerous Protestant denominations and theological perspectives were represented. Over the ensuing ten days papers were presented addressing a wide range of topics, including Christian union, infidelity, the Christian life, Christianity and civil government, missions and social reform. For Philip Schaff, then professor at Union Theological Seminary and the main driving force behind the conference, it was a powerful demonstration of the potential for Christian unity. What a conference! It has surpassed the most sanguine expectations. The Spirit of God took hold of it and subdued all explosive elements and antagonistic interests, national … sectional … sectarian and personal, and has made it a grand and imposing exhibition of Christian unity. God has shown what He can do when He chooses, and He will bring about a real unity in His own good time to the amazement of the world. … All my labors of four years are abundantly rewarded.

Randall Reinhard Abstract The concept of the ’Victorian prophet’ has been used by scholars to refer to such figures as Thomas Carlyle and John Ruskin as they secularised the office of the Old Testament prophet for industrialising Britain in the nineteenth century. This thesis seeks to historically contextualise this phenomenon by examining the career and influence of Edward Irving (1792-1834), a minister in the Church of Scotland who self- consciously embodied the role of prophet to the British nation.

  • The Roots of American Christian Affinity for the State of Israel Robert O
    ABSTRACT “More Desired Than Our Owne Salvation”: The Roots of American Christian Affinity for the State of Israel Robert O. Smith, Ph.D. Mentor: Barry G. Hankins, Ph.D. This dissertation seeks to show that popular American affinity for the State of Israel draws from the taproot of apocalyptic hope informing American identity and national vocation from the revolutionary era to the present. The English Protestant tradition of Judeo-centric prophecy interpretation informing these American adaptations of apocalyptic hope was first developed in the early Elizabethan period and refined through the first half of the seventeenth century. Brought to North America by English colonists with Puritan commitments, the tradition provided a foundational framework for American self-understanding. Given this Judeo-centric tradition’s direct contribution to American popular Christianity and civil religion—through varying degrees of national- covenantalism, premillennial dispensationalism and cultural fundamentalism—claims that American popular affinity for the State of Israel is generated primarily by external manipulations or lobbies strain the bounds of credulity. Grounded, in part, in the Protestant historiography developed by Lutheran and Calvinist reformers, this English Protestant tradition of Judeo-centric prophecy interpretation was from its inception a political theology. The tradition openly constructed friends (Jews) as well as enemies (Muslims and Roman Catholics), while cultivating an occidentocentric discourse that discounted Eastern Christians. The tradition’s most visible and direct impulses are manifested in Christian Zionism, understood as political action, informed by specifically Christian commitments, to promote or preserve Jewish control over the geographic area now containing Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories. The conviction that Jews had a central role to play in God’s end-times drama led English and Anglo-American interpreters to construct Jews as allies while constructing Catholics and Muslims as Antichrist.
